ASHWAUBENON - Five adults and two pets were rescued from the basement of a home Tuesday morning after a fire broke out at a home in the 900 block of Marvelle Lane.

The fire at 980 Marvelle Lane was called in about 8:45 a.m Tuesday by a fire chaplain with Green Bay Metro Fire Department who was passing by and happened to see the blaze, said Jody Crocker, captain of Ashwaubenon Public Safety.

"They noticed there was smoke pouring out of the garage of the residence here and called 911," Crocker said.

The first firefighter to go into the home was "overcome by smoke" and had to turn back, Crocker said. Other rescuers were called in wearing breathing apparatuses.

Fire officials rescued five adults who, after realizing they couldn't get out of the usual exit of the home, congregated in basement to get away from the smoke. Crews had to break windows and help the people out of the basement.

Two dogs were also rescued.

Multiple people in the home during the fire were treated at the scene for smoke inhalation, Crocker said. No one was taken to the hospital.

The cause of the fire and where the fire started remains under investigation.

There is no estimated amount of damage, but Crocker said at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, that the home appears to be a total loss.

"There was fire and smoke coming through the entire roof system," he said.
